Zee TV’s prime time show is all set to go off air by June this year, or so the rumours suggest

The producers of Punar Vivah, starring Gurmeet Chaudhary and Kratika Sengar, are all set to pull the plug on this one due to creative differences between the lead actor and producer Sumeet Mittal. However, both Gurmeet and Sumeet insist that things are perfectly cordial and there was never an issue. Wouldn’t we all like to believe just that?

Rumour mills in the television industry claim that Gurmeet signed Nach Baliye Shriman vs Shrimatiwithout consulting the producers of Punar Vivah, which created problems for the show’s entire cast and crew. The team had already adjusted their timings and schedules once when Gurmeet was a part of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa; doing it again apparently created a lot of unrest among the other cast members. Secondly, Gurmeet has been simultaneously shooting for his Punjabi film, which will hit the theatres soon.

Between reality shows and his movie, Gurmeet is clearly unable to give time for Punar Vivah, and being the face of the show, it’s difficult to phase out the character – not that the makers didn’t consider it. Among other things, the show is also dying a natural death as the makers can’t play around with the theme of remarriage any longer without making it redundant. The producer claims that the channel hasn’t given any word on taking the show off air, but then again there is no smoke without fire, right?

This week the show received 1.4 ratings which is a further drop from last week’s 1.7, and at this rate we wouldn’t be too surprised if the channel decides to end the show. What do you think BollywoodLifers, should the makers end Punar Vivah?

The show is called ‘Punar Vivah’, or again marry, but how many times will he do it?

After his first wife’s death, Yash Sindhia’s (Gurmeet Chaudhary) family asked him to marry again for the sake of his daughters. Reluctantly, the brooding man agreed. Of course, second wife Arti (Kratika Sengar) came with baggage – her son Ansh.

No one expected them to fall in love, but they did and were extremely happy. And then her ex husband Prashant (Vineet Raina) came knocking back into the picture, demanding Arti come back to him. So much crap! The couple – Arti and Yash, that is – stood their collective ground and decided that come what may, they would stay together. And we were happy! It seemed like the serial makers were finally creating something sensible – okay, not entirely, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt here.

When Yash’s father – played by Chetan Pandit – found out that Arti was not a widow (his son was a widower) but a divorcee, all hell broke loose. He ordered his son to get a divorce immediately and abandon his new wife. Being a man of virtue, Yash did not relent and instead moved out of his family home. Smart decision!

But daddy dear Suraj Pratap Sindhia was not the type to let go, so he kidnapped Ansh and as ransom demanded that the couple split…how terribly tired that line is! We really thought that Yash would stand strong against his father, but we were so wrong. As per recent developments, Yash will sign the divorce papers and will be forced to marry for a third time. OMG!

Yash’s new bride Ishsita (Heena Parmar) is his father’s choice. Frankly, we are livid at the way the story is heading. In our opinion, it’s absolutely barbaric and we do not like it one bit. Do you?
